A man running for the highest office in the land, and who is campaigning on the strength of his business and financial acumen, should totally be allowed to hide his tax record from the public. Especially when the few documents that he has released appear to show evidence of fraud.

James!:Nadie_AZ: Breitbart will never get a click from me. Just letting you know, mods.

Mods don't greenlight.

The people who get pedantic and OCD about the difference between mods and admins are the same ones who get pedantic and OCD about the difference between Breitbart's website and chunky warthog barf. For all intents and purposes, they're the same damn thing.

I don't think Romney didn't do anything illegal. I just think his tax returns will show the degree to which he sold out America for his personal benefit. And what a ridiculously low amount he paid on his taxes for someone in the top .1%.

How criminally stupid is Romney to take a position that directly contradicts what his father's stance was? Holy Dinner Plates, Mitt! We didn't have to go outside your own farking family to find someone that thinks you're up to something! You've been a politician for years! Did you think this moment was never going to come?

Then again, I'm expecting smarts and a little pre-planning from a guy that straps his dog to the roof of his car.

vpb:Or maybe because most people suspect that he is a criminal tax evader who escaped prosecution by taking the 2009 Swiss account tax amnesty?

humm, could be it.

and the fact that Obama has released his birth certificate and 11 years of tax returns kinda' suggests that Mittens Rmoney has some ground to cover to catch up if he wants a snowball's chance in hell of winning in Nov.

I'd agree if I thought Americans were paying attention and hadn't reelected Bush Jr a few years before voting the Tea Party into power in '10.

It's the same as Mitt's stance on Blind Trusts. He said himself that they're the oldest ruse in the book, except when they're his blind trusts and he of course has no say in them whatsoever.

The fact that the media wants government forms as evidence shows how biased they are. As we all know, Democrats love government and Republicans hate government, so of COURSE government documentation will be provided to support Democrats and harm Republicans!

The fact that the media is willing to treat the claims of the State of Hawaii as more accurate than the claims of non-partisan private citizen Orly Taitz or thinks that a form 1040 is a more accurate estimate of a person's tax liability than the words from a candidate's own mouth that he swears are true is a disgrace.

Of course, no one cares about the unemployment rate, GDP growth, the price of gas, the price of food, the fact that Syria is in full-blown civil war, Iranian nukes, the coming burst of the higher-ed bubble, inflation, taxes, etc. What everyone really cares about are Mitt Romney's tax returns...

I suspect there's an unstated reason why Romney isn't releasing more than 2 years of returns: because the more the Democrats whine about Mitt Romney's taxes, the more unhinged they become. The more oxygen they take up with meaningless chickenshiat, the less they have for issues that might actually matter to voters who don't already drink DNC Kool-Aid by the bucketfull.

So how much would a copy of his returns be worth? I'm guessing a few million but then again if I had them I would release them for nothing. I mean how many folks can say they single handed destroyed a rich scumbags political career?

And what has Romney proposed to do about any of the issues you mentioned?
